about

The idea for this song came into my head while I was lying in bed about to fall asleep. It's important to write those fleeting ideas down before they are gone. This was during a nice, happy time with the love of my life next to me.

lyrics

Only once in your lifetime will the stars shine this bright
Lighting trillions of other worlds while you sleep through the night
Maybe once in my lifetime, I will know what to say
When I'm peaceful beside you in that bed where you lie

If it's only once in our lives that we feel this way,
let's hope it stretches the time and lasts for all of our days.
If only once in my life, one of my wishes came true,
I would wish it's the one where my life's spent with you.

Tatiana
by Tatiana Moroz

This woman can play some serious folk guitar and she has sultry singing skills. It's hard not to get drawn in. She also loves liberty as much as you do, if not more. Edmund Snyder

Web In The Corner
by Colette O'Connor

I've been following Colette on Soundcloud for some time. I fell in love with her style the first time I heard it. Sometimes her voice reminds me of Carole King, but without King's arrogance. Edmund Snyder

A brand new you

I discovered Dr. Mindflip through the Weeklybeats challenge that I'm doing (to write a song each week). His fantastic vocal range and amazing piano chops have drawn me back to his music every week. Edmund Snyder
